A look inside Minges
The stage is set for Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin inside Minges Coliseum.
As the crowd files in, it is being greeted by red, white and blue bunting around half of the facility and about 100 handmade signs placed in seats behind and beside the stage.
There also is a “Victory in North Carolina” sign the length of one seating section hanging near the stage.
Beside the main podium is a smaller stage which includes a cello, several guitars and a pair of banjos. No official word yet on who will be performing, but it seems certain from talking to people that there will be no solos by Palin this evening.
Meanwhile a variety of music, mostly of the country variety, is being played in the coliseum.

Do people really believe Bush is to blame for all of our problems? I don’t get it. From basic civics - I learned that in order for a bill to pass - it had to go through Congress. Congress is controlled by the Democratic party right now. With our “checks and balances” in place - Congress has passed these bills with a majority vote. When you really look at blaming someone - aren’t both parties responsible? How can you blame one party when they both had part in legislation? Maybe I don’t understand how our democracy works?
